Great story! I often wonder which of my writing colleagues will grow to be “important”

I wrote a little about the Alley Violinist here:

Don’t mean to quibble, but I didn’t say Bob was a crazy poet. I said he looked a bit wild — like a desert prophet. My first encounter with Bob actually occurred at the Niagara swimming pool, where I had gone to swim one afternoon. He was there ahead of me. I recall marvelling at how well he did his strokes. He was an old man with great endurance. We talked briefly, and I learned from him that he was a poet-in-residence at Artpart. He also mentioned the open readings, which is what prompted me to speak to you about Wild Bob. And the rest, as they might say, is literary history….
